IS HE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL INVESTOR OF OUR TIME? CHECK THIS OUT!

Each and every moment I try to figure out which other individual investor could outperform Warren Buffett, it is actually inexorably hard. Born in 1930 in Omaha, USA, you will be surprised that by 2015, his net worth has accumulated up to 66.7 billion US dollars.  With complete ownership in almost 65 private companies and having invested in about 27 public companies, this gives you a distinct picture of the kind of investor he is!

 For an investor like Warren Edward Buffett it dawns on me that other prominent investors will have to “pull their socks up” in order to initiate competitive tactics.

This ingenious, amazing and popular philanthropic investor is actually the best investor in the world. His simplicity and unassuming character makes the Berkshire Hathaway owner to attract a multitude of individuals behind him each moment he issues a press statement or even during his Annual General Meetings(as shown in the picture below on the right)

Interestingly, according to Forbes report, about 25% of the readers would actually prefer Warren Buffett as the president of the United States. Most of them based actually based their decision on his cognitive thinking approach and his promptness in approaching different types of situation (especially in investment), resulting to something that indeed increases the overall performance. He acts and gives out a decisive informed judgment and this is what other investors have reaffirmed to be one of the greatest strength of Warren Buffet that translates to his tremendous success.

You will be shocked to discover that, for instance, if an individual with a sober and visionary mind could have invested $5000 in 1969 to Berkshire Hathaway after its formation from termination of partnership that Buffet had engaged in mid 1950s, that person as per now would  be worth close to 140 million US dollars!  Actually this is true because Warren Buffett started with only $100,000 US dollar, and has built an investment worth $42 billion US dollars. This is indeed incredible and deserves an accolade!

But what does Warren Buffett say about his success? He simply states that price is what you pay for you to actually obtain the value. He stresses on investing in business that is quality-defined rather than checking only on the stock signs and symbols. This is because the stocks may be faced with fluctuations from interest rates and inflation that may affect their performance. But if the business does well, the stock will also follow.

My point of conclusion derives its path from one of Warren Buffet’s quotes stating, “It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you will drift in that direction” Also note that “predicting the rain doesn’t count. Building the ark counts!”
